DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, detailed descriptions for implementing a running shoe capable of representing various designs according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings based on embodiments.

A running shoe 1 according to the present invention are provided such that a representation member in which various colors and designs are represented is detachably inserted into an upper thereof, various colors and designs may be repeatedly represented in one kind of running shoes, and the running shoe 1 may be freely decorated in accordance with user's tastes.

Referring to FIG. 1, the running shoe 1 according to the present invention includes a sole 10 that is a lower portion of the shoe and an upper 20 that is an upper portion of the shoe, wherein the sole 10 is formed of materials, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane and synthetic resin, to have a flat shape having a predetermined thickness, and the upper 20 includes a vamp A that is a front portion thereof to cover toes of a foot, a toe cap B that is an extra portion obtained by adding a length and an area, which are larger than the original measurements, to a toe portion, a back counter C that is formed of a hard material for protection of a heel and stability, a side D which occupies opposite side surfaces of the shoe and on which a brand is represented, and a tongue E that serves to protect a top of the foot.

The running shoe 1 according to the present invention is provided such that a representation member 30 is inserted into such an upper 20, making it possible to represent various designs.

To achieve this, an outer cover 21 that is formed of a transparent material such as vinyl is connected to the upper 20 through schemes such as sewing and adhesion, a zipper 22 is formed on a portion of a circumference of the transparent outer cover 21 to be opened/closed, and when the zipper 22 is opened, the representation member 30 is inserted into an insertion space 23 inside the transparent outer cover 21, so that a design that is printed on the representation member 30 may be represented to the outside through the transparent outer cover 21. Here, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a zipper lock 23 may be formed instead of the zipper 22. The zipper lock 23, which is frequently used in a vinyl bag, may be sealed as an internal male protrusion and a female protrusion that corresponds to and accommodates the male protrusion are coupled to each other.

The representation member 30 may be formed of any one selected from soft plastic, cloth, rubber and paper and may be designed by printing one or more selected from a letter, a number, a symbol, a figure, a picture and a color. Because of this, a user may always have a non-monotonous feeling of wearing new shoes, using the representation member 30 having various designs. In particular, the shoe 1 is suitable for a kid shoe.

Thus, the representation member 30 may be conveniently inserted and separated and a design of the representation member may be represented to the outside through the transparent outer cover as it is. Because of this, various colors and designs may be repeatedly represented in one kind of running shoes and purchase of various kinds of running shoes is not required so that the running shoe may be used very economically.

Here, it is preferred that the upper into which the representation member 30 is inserted is one or more selected from the vamp A, the toe cap B, the back counter C, the side D and the tongue E.

As an example, referring to FIG. 2A, when the transparent outer cover 21 is connected to an outer surface of the vamp A, the zipper 22 is formed at a boundary between the vamp A and the tongue E, the representation member 30 on which a color is printed is inserted into the insertion space 23 after the zipper 22 is opened, and the zipper 22 is then closed, the design of the representation member 30 may be represented to the outside, as illustrated in FIG. 2B.

Further, referring to FIG. 3A, when the transparent outer cover 21 is connected to an outer surface of the toe cap B, the zipper 22 is formed at a boundary between the vamp A and the toe cap B, the representation member 30 on which a color is printed is inserted into the insertion space 23 after the zipper 22 is opened, and the zipper 22 is then closed, the design of the representation member 30 may be represented to the outside, as illustrated in FIG. 3B.

Further, referring to FIG. 3A, when the transparent outer cover 21 is connected to an outer surface of the back counter C, the zipper 22 is formed on the transparent outer cover 21, the representation member 30 on which a color is printed is inserted into the insertion space 23 after the zipper 22 is opened, and the zipper 22 is then closed, the design of the representation member 30 may be represented to the outside, as illustrated in FIG. 4B.

Further, referring to FIG. 5A, when the transparent outer cover 21 is connected to an outer surface of the side D, the zipper 22 is formed on one side of the transparent outer cover, the representation member 30 on which a color and a symbol are printed is inserted into the insertion space 23 after the zipper 22 is opened, and the zipper 22 is then closed, the design of the representation member 30 may be represented to the outside, as illustrated in FIG. 5B.

In addition, referring to FIG. 6, a plurality of representation members 30 are simultaneously inserted into the upper of the running shoe 1 so that the user may have a feeling like wearing new shoes.

As a result, in the running shoe 1 capable of representing various designs according to the present invention, the representation member is inserted into the transparent outer cover so that various colors and designs may be repeatedly represented in one kind of running shoes, the running shoe 1 may be freely decorated in accordance with user's tastes, and purchase of various kinds of running shoes is not required, so that the running shoes may be used very economically.

The embodiment of the present invention is merely one example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Any one that has substantially the same configuration and effect as those of the technical spirit described in the appended claims of the present invention may be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
